THE CHAMPION
commenced to hoist ore with their new
hoistine works about a week ago, and will
hoist about fifteen tons of ore per day,
making regular shipments to the Butte Re-
duction Works. Everything about the
mine looks flattering.
THE NETTIE.
The sinking of a new shaft south OF the
East Nsttie has been commenced by this
company. They are running two shifts
now and at present are down forty feet.
More ore is now being hoisted from the
main shaft than has been hoisted hitherto.
An eight-hour shift is being worked in the
main shaft.
the sPECULAToR.
About a month ago the north ledge in
the bottom of the shaft of this mine was
cut and a good deal OF water encountered d.
At the time it was believed it would soon
be drained. as it was supposed to be sipage
I, ON the old Bell shaft adjoining which the
Speculator's pumps would eventually
drain. But the water seems to come from
another source. Before encOunterlng this
BODY OF water the mine was regularly ship
ping to the Colorado Smelter about twen'
ty-five tons of ore, and are now fortunate
if they ship ten or twelve tons. The men
came out of the mine last evening looking
as if they had been taking a swim with
their clothes on. The lessees are sparing no
paine >r expense to keep the water down
but cir present machinery is not heavy
enough. Other arrangements than those
now in use will be made soon, as the mine
is too valuable to succumb to the water.
GENERAL Notes.
Arrangements are being perfected to
start up the new calciner recently erected
at the Colorado smelter, whose high smoke
stacks are now prominent feature in the
landscape.
The Colorado concentrator has beer
shut down for four or five days for repairs
and started up again last night.
| The work OF sorting over the old dumE
| OF the Posy for shipment to the Colorado
smelter is going on and promises good re
suits.
A new roof is being put on the hoistini
works of the Mountain Consolidated.

New YORK, June 24.-The stock exchange
this forenoon became extremely active and
excited with heavy declines. The market
opened with q feeling of confidence in many
stocks which suffered 50 severely yesterday
and large supporting orders we're given all
over the room. In few moments there
was very heavy selling apparent. Re-
ports were circulated that Jay Gould was
dead, and there had been falling out be-
tween Jay Gould and Russell Sage and
Cyrus w. Field. At the same time some
heavy blocks Of Manhatten stock were
offered causing prices OF the stock to
break from 1861 to 12O. The room was
crowded with brokers and the decline
brought out selling orders in all classes OF
securities. The Western Union began to
break about IL o'clock and in fifteen
minutes dropped eight points. The fall in
other stocks was correspondingly great.
The greatest excitement was in the loan
crowd where many inquiries were made Tor
loans on call. But parties prominent in
loaniug money refused to lend any amount,
no matter how small. The excitement
reached the greatest heighth shortly before
noon and
AvERIrABLE PANIC
was developed. No attention was paid by
the brokers to fractions in sales made by
them, and fluctuations were 80 wild that
the sales were sometimes from five to ten
per cent. apart. Stocks bought near the
opening were thrown over when the break
occurred, and this selling completely de-
moralized the speculators. Wall street
was the scene of more excitement than has
been witnessed since the May panic of 1885.
The greatest declines recorded were Man
haitian 4Oh points, Missouri Pacific IL:
Western Union 8. Cottonseed Z richmond
Terminal TX, New England 6 and Lake
Erie & Western 5. Increased short interest
saved the room from a money panic by it's
demand for stocks for delivery, and some
large operators entered the market and
began buying freely. They soon gathered
q large following and the buying turned
the market almost as rapidly as it had
fallen, and stocks took
LONG JUMPS BACK
to former prices. Manhattan recovered 2
per cent. OF it's loss, and other stocks gen.
orally recovered about one-half OF the de-
cline recorded. No failures were announced
AZ the result. Gould denies the story that
he and Field had quarrelled, and says they
are as good friends as ever.
WALL STREET WAS PUZZLED
to account for the fact that such great
decline could occur without dragging down
some of the bull houses which had been
carrying large lines OF stock, but this is ex-
planned by the report that Gould, Field,
Vanderbilt and Philadelphia capitalists
had taken up stock which were in weak
hands and relieved the holders OF the neces,
s;tv of Sacrificing them. Field is reported
to have taken up $7,Ooo,ooo OF Manhat'
tan stock.

osition to the Board of Trade here to de-
vote the September number OF that publ
cation to an illustrated description of

the scheme says that the work will no
doubt prove greatly beneficial to the inn
provement and growth Of Helena as a
vigorous, progressive city.
A FORMER EMPLoYE
of the Helena & Jefferson railroad, named
James Maher, was accidentally run over
and killed yesterday near the Ahambra
Hot Springs. He had been riding on the
brake bea ms OF one OF the freight cars and
was dislodged when the train stopped. On
starting up he tried to grasp the lower
round of ladder on u box car but mis-
calculating the distance or losing his grasp
he fell under the car and two cars and the
forward trucks of the caboose passed over
his body. horribly mangling it and causing
almost instant death. The body was
taken to Ahambra last night. The Cor
oner's Jury decided that no blame was
attached to the railroad employees. A
Cleveland, Ohio, and his friends had been
telegraphed the sad news. 1t is stated that
the caboose was thrown from the track
and nearly overturned by the shock.

zens will soon present in conjunction with

Chief Justice Mcconnell after hearing the
evidence in the suit brought by the Helena
& Northern Railroad asking for a commits
sion to secure right OF way over some lands
belonging to the Montana Central at Marys-
ville and personally examining into the
merits of the case, rendered partial de-
cision yesterday on equitable grounds. He
believed in many lines and vigorous COM
petition. His decision was that the Helena
& Northern might have sufficient ground for
~ h II ho a.
ages, but that the crossings must be on the
same level and not at different heights, as
was proposed. He will render q full and
final judgment when he has consulted fur
tber with the engineers of the two roads.
